I have an HP Laserjet 1320 that had been working fine for years on an Ubuntu box, including all the way up to Maverick. I'm switching to a new box, also with Maverick, and can't get the printer to show up as a usb device. Instead, a parallel port shows up. Attempts to install/print via the parallel port have failed.

I've read that the uss720 module, which shows up, is responsible for converting a USB connection to a parallel port connection. If I could somehow prevent that from happening I think I would be able to solve all of my problems.

This has solved itself. All it took was a reboot... It seems that reboots are becoming more and more necessary to keep everything working correctly, and it isn't limited to just Ubuntu. Anyway, all is better now, I have a shiny "HP" logo in the taskbar and everything seems to work.
